Beneficiary-bashing

Time for some good old-fashioned beneficiary bashing. Just so you know who's bludging off you, here's a wee pictorial essay showing some of the country's highest paid beneficiaries:


Several hundred thousand middle-income bludgers -- one-third of the country sucking off the state tit: NZ's most numerous beneficiaries.


The Two Jims' own cash machine: NZ's most unrewarding beneficiary. $138,000,000 so you and I can help "the little guy."


The Clark Government: beneficiaries of the Big Lie that unemployment has been drastically reduced.


Radio New Zealand: proud supporters of the culture of sucking off the state tit.


Town Planners: NZ's most destructive beneficiaries.


Consultants and mega-law firms: NZ's least self-aware beneficiaries.


Political parties with their hands in your pocket: NZ's most unashamed beneficiaries.


The country's mayors: NZ's most lack-lustre beneficiaries.


The Prime Minister: NZ's highest paid beneficiary.


Team New Zealand: arguably the country's most undeserving and under-performing beneficiaries.

New Zealand's beneficiary culture is alive and well. Sucking off the state tit is a lifestyle choice: a choice being made every day by hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders who put their hands deep into your pocket.

I think that the CEs of various departments earn substantially more than Clark, even taking into account her very expensive travel.
